Wine of the Week, May 5, 2007

McWilliams Hanwood Riesling, $15.99

In a screwcap! No corked wine here!


The NSLC says:

Aromas of lemon, lime and mandarin with subtle hints of orange blossom and musk. An intensely aromatic palate of fresh lime and citrus with a crisp, acidic finish. A perfect accompaniment to spicy dishes.


I say:

Yes with the lemon lime acidity, fresh clean fruit with enough semi sweet middle to please anyone who wants true Riesling character without a smarmy sickly sweet finish. I know $15.99 is a bit much for some of you, but at least you know it won't be corked.

This will work as a drink, or with food, which is rare nowadays. I'd suggest something with 5-spice, and other oriental character.

Enjoy!
